It would have been, if the guy wasn't 43, a father of 3, unemployed and playing video games all day.

The man was wrong to have put his hands on that kid.

He should have used a gun. And for those familiar with video-game tea-bagging, maybe he should have done some real life tea-bagging as well.

Only a video-game blog ran by fucking neckbeards would find some sort of ethical high-ground in "standing up" to xbox live trolls.

It is wrong, but that doesn't mean the kid didn't deserve it. A little extreme maybe.

I've met most of these guys and none of them have neckbeards and this was on Playstation. I do like how you assumed it was Xbox though.

no. pissing off some jobless loser who's sitting around playing video games all day doesn't mean you would ever deserve to get choked out.

When you act like a shithead to someone twice your size, they may try to kill you. Welcome to the last 2.5 million years of human evolution.___

Whatever online service it was is a moot point, as the fact still stands that any FPS you play on any online gaming service is going to populated with 12 year olds calling you a ******, that still doesn't add any sort of ethical high-ground upon which a full-grown man attacking a KID is something to be applauded...

"When you act like a shithead to someone twice your size, they may try to kill you. Welcome to the last 2.5 million years of human evolution."

Wrong of the guy? Of course. Fair? No. Do pissy words warrant a little kid getting choked? Of course not. But then again:

Can someone define "After the jump" for me? I see this all the time on blogs and there is almost never any sort of space/ad/picture/whateverthefuckajumpis after that line. Or, in this case, they imply that they are already past the jump, which appears to be a double space. Do we really need to be told to keep reading beyond a double space? My eyes can see that there are more words a half inch away.

I think it has something to do with the "jump" being a link that leads you to the full article. And once you are reading the full article the "jump" line stays there. I don't know. Sounds dumb and I feel like it has always been a stupid thing.

I could be wrong though.

^ DING DING...I went back to the front page of that site and you're absolutely right. I never actually go to any of those websites, just follow other people's links, so I could never figure it out.

Ron from the Ron & Fez Show now says what's coming up "after the jump" before going to commercial.

when you play video games wearing a headset, you're open to any ridicule a human being can throw at another. They're both shitheels.

I hate headsetting because everybody's jerks. I wish they weren't all jerks. Jerks who think I'm Mexican.

phonographer

Agreed both are jerks. I've never headsetted on a console before, but PC has been a pleasant experience, even though I've only played Bad Company 2 or maybe the Aussie's I talk with are just nicer than American gamers.

headsetting on consoles is the worst. i gave it up years ago. don't mind it on pc though. fewer angry 12 year olds.

Thank you for taking a brave ethical stand here, good sir. Many of us were under the quite serious impression that child strangulation was justifiable under such extreme circumstances, but you've set us straight. Bravo.

yeah, really. People on Madden are always asking for "Mic'd only" games, but why would I want to converse with you during the game? One guy playing with the Broncos was berating me for ten minutes at the tail end of his ass beating saying things like "Chargers ain't shit. If you ever come to Denver...". Had to turn off the surround sound. Lonely people out there.
